We had a guest speaker at one of our meetings, Susie C. is a member of the Oregon Button Society, and the National Button Society. We all use buttons as decorative embellishments for our quilts, wearable art and purses, for costuming, and other uses. Susie brought a large assortment of buttons, arranged in trays, bags and boxes, for us to see. She explained how they are set up in the trays for competition and collecting by category. She talked about her specialty, Celluloid buttons from the 1880's to 1940's, and also joked that her husband recently beat her in an Oregon Button Society event.
